PF will subpoena Marcos do Val to testify about Bolsonaro’s alleged coercion for a coup – 02/02/2023 – Politics

The Federal Police will subpoena Senator Marcos do Val (Podemos-ES) to testify in the open investigation to investigate the coup attacks that occurred after the second round of elections and which led to the invasions of the buildings of the three Powers on January 8.

The senator announced early this Thursday (2) his resignation from the mandate and said that former president Jair Bolsonaro (PL) tried to coerce him into a coup to remain in the Planalto Palace.

Marcos do Val will be called to testify as a witness.

“I got pissed when they called me a Bolsonarist. You wait for me, I’m going to drop a bomb. Friday will be on See Bolsonaro’s attempt to coerce me so that I could stage a coup d’état together with him, just so you could have idea. And of course I denounced it”, said the senator.

The statement was given during a live on their social networks. Marcos do Val, elected in 2018 with 863,000 votes for an eight-year term (2019-2027), did not give any further details about what this pressure from the former president on the subject would have been.

In an interview with GloboNews, he said that, after last year’s elections, impeached federal deputy Daniel Silveira, in a conversation with Bolsonaro, proposed a coup.

In general terms, he said, the proposal would involve keeping active the coup camps outside the barracks and recording any conversation that could compromise Minister Alexandre de Moraes, president of the TSE (Superior Electoral Court).

As shown to Sheetthe PF acts in four lines of investigation to investigate all the facts and people related to the coup attacks and vandalism carried out by Bolsonaro supporters.

The former president, former Minister of Justice Anderson Torres and authorities who acted or omitted during the coup attempt are in the sights of these investigations.

In the case of Bolsonaro, the PF targets the intellectual authors of the attacks and the testimony of Marcos do Val may strengthen suspicions that the former president’s repeated coup attempts contributed to the attacks.

Bolsonaro, in addition to being in the crosshairs of investigations into the January 8 attacks, is also the target of an inquiry by the digital militias because of his performance on the live on July 29, 2021 —when he raised suspicions of fraud in the elections through failures in electronic voting machines—and the leak of a secret inquiry into a hacker attack on the Superior Electoral Court.

The former president is in the United States and has not yet spoken about the senator’s statements.

This week, he applied for a tourist visa and should stay out of the country longer. On Tuesday (31), he said he will stay longer in the country. “I’ve been here for 30 days, I intend to stay for a while longer. I’m not sure how much longer. I miss my country a lot.”
